Du Ruoxin narrowed her eyes. How could money be so easy to win?
Suddenly, she felt like she was walking into a trap, as if a scumbag had set a snare waiting for her to fall in.
"What, Miss Du, are you scared?" Lin Hai challenged, seeing Du Ruoxin's silence.
Du Ruoxin curved her lips slightly, returning a stiff smile. "Scared? Of course not. I only have enough money for two rounds. I'm afraid I can't gamble three rounds with you."
Huh?
Lin Hai paused. Why wasn't Du Ruoxin playing by the rules?
At a time like this, shouldn't she have proudly replied, "A mere ten million is nothing," and then found someone to bring out tens of millions?
Why was she so shameless?
Lin Hai snapped his fingers and ordered the manager beside him, "Get Miss Du five million." He paused, then looked at Du Ruoxin. "Is that enough? Should I get you more?"
Du Ruoxin waved her hand. "No need to trouble yourself. Let's decide the winner in the last round."
Lin Hai looked at the others, and they all agreed it was fine.
"Alright, the last round."
The dealer began shuffling the cards, his hands moving with the dexterity of a magician.
Du Ruoxin stared intently at the cards in the female dealer's hands, her mind racing.
"Thump—"
After shuffling, the dealer placed the cards in the center and covered them with a transparent lid. "Gentlemen and ladies, may we begin?"
Lin Hai nodded.
However, Du Ruoxin suddenly felt a surge of emotion within her.
If she lost this round, she would lose 100%.
One, two, three, four, five, six... Unless she could follow until the seventh or eighth card, with each round doubling, this round's stakes would be over a hundred million.
This didn't even include the bald man's malicious bidding.
If he increased his bid to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions on the second or third card, the upper limit of this round would be uncontrollable.
Moreover, she had to ensure the bald man didn't peek at the cards mid-game.
If he peeked, she would be finished, and any money she put in would be lost.
Should she gamble?
Whether she gambled or not, she had to eat with this scumbag and endure his harassment. But if she didn't gamble, she could save money and even make a few million.
Du Ruoxin was conflicted.
Before she could decide, Lin Hai had already started bidding. "Ten million."
It was her turn.
Du Ruoxin suddenly stood up. "I concede."
Losing early or late was still losing. It was better to concede early. The few million she won tonight could still be pocketed.
Trading a few million for a meal, she didn't feel she was at a disadvantage.
Besides, during the meal, she could bring Caroline and the new rich second-generation Caroline had met, and also provoke her husband.
[Rong Jingyang, someone has designs on your wife. Let's see what you do!]
Everyone was utterly bewildered: "............"
They had only dealt two cards, so why concede so early? Was this still the casino queen who had been undefeated tonight?
Grace was also puzzled. Although she disliked gambling and didn't understand the casino rules, Du Ruoxin conceding immediately was clearly out of character for Sister Xin.
"What's wrong?" she asked silently.
Du Ruoxin signaled with her eyes, "I'll tell you later."
She looked at the staff. "Please count the chips I have left."
"Yes." The staff counted and said, "Miss Du has 4.267 million left."
Not bad, she had made over three million.
"Mm," Du Ruoxin nodded with satisfaction, took the barcode cash voucher from the staff, and turned to leave.
Everyone: "..."
Wasn't she being unsportsmanlike? Everyone was still gambling, and she was cashing out?!
Lin Hai stared blankly at everything happening before him. As Du Ruoxin was about to disappear through the door, he finally reacted and quickly caught up. "Miss Du, a bet is a bet."
Du Ruoxin shrugged. "I didn't say I wouldn't concede." She glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost one o'clock. I need to sleep. Let's eat together tomorrow."
Lin Hai blocked her path. "It's so late, aren't you hungry? Can you sleep when you get back? How about I treat you to a late-night snack?"
Du Ruoxin took two steps back and refused. "No, thank you. It's too late to eat, my stomach won't digest it. See you tomorrow."
Bypassing him, Du Ruoxin took Grace to the counter to exchange for cash and then left the casino.
Lin Hai's eyes, like a venomous snake, flashed with ruthlessness. He tilted his head and gestured to his bodyguard, "Mm?"
Tonight, he was determined to have this woman!
"Yes." The bodyguard quickly disappeared.
Du Ruoxin and Grace walked back to their room arm in arm, as close as conjoined twins.
Du Ruoxin said, "Are you very curious why I conceded without even gambling?"
Grace nodded in agreement.
Du Ruoxin: "Because I knew I would lose this round."
Grace was a little surprised. "Ah?"
Could she know the outcome of a gamble beforehand? What kind of special ability was this?
"Just consider it my secret." That was Cristiano's gift to her for her sixteenth birthday. She didn't want to talk about it because it was a bit too extraordinary.
Grace softly replied with an "Mm."
Du Ruoxin smiled. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll call the butler."
Grace touched her stomach. She was indeed hungry. "A bowl of Liang Gao, please."
Ever since Du Ruoxin had treated her to it once, she had been craving that taste.
"Hahaha, okay."
By the time they returned to the room, the Liang Gao had arrived.
The two of them held their bowls, sitting on the balcony, enjoying the delicious food while feeling the sea breeze, a picture of contentment.
However, before they could finish the Liang Gao, Du Ruoxin and Grace fainted.
Immediately, the door opened, and two men in black entered.
